We are not going back.
Every time I am there, I think Iām going to feel some nostalgia for it; instead, Iām reminded why I left as soon as I had my own agency.

All the more glad I never signed up.
I suppose the owners are happy nonetheless, with new subscriptions from at least some of its supposed āmillionsā of viewers.

In my experience, few things excite a libertarian more than the prospect of making fat stacks (of money).

I got an offer for the first month free if I subscribed to another of his blogs now apparently on Substack. Either Recommendo or Cool Tools.
I didnāt take the offer.

I took the life time free offer because I didnāt want to loose you people. Then I got in here. I will keep it because I want to read the archives.

Kinda curious, anyone have any info as to whats happening with boingboing?
Iām guessing they cratered the community, but i wonder how the main site fairs as a result?

They moved the main site to SubStack and made the āclassic BBā site read-only. I went to check it out before coming here, and it was unusable for what (I think) most of us value, the community, the discussion, the comradery. Itās like a huge group test. No bueno. Have not been back.

It alarms and saddens me how quickly it has dropped out of my daily routine, other than emails it was pretty much my first port of call every day.

The page is still up with new stories being posted, but it goes to substack for commentsā¦ scroll to the bottom and youāll see the linkā¦ the couple of times Iāve looked, it seems like a ghost townā¦

Iāve manually added this forum into my daily tab load, but removed BB.
Curious for how other people are managing

Same.
I certainly donāt miss all the rage-bait headlines, the crap authors, and the nasty comments. I was already missing a lot of The Good Stuff when they sprang substack on us, and Iām hardly what Iād call a veteran of the website.
Iām just relieved so many of us made it here.

For me itās been a hard adjustment. I liked the variety of news/posts but yeah, without the community engagement I just donāt feel the need to keep up with it. If some folks want to use it still thatās good, I just donāt feel welcome anymore

Iāve been reading it a bit. I donāt really mind throwing them some eyeballs. But I donāt feel like talking or anything on there either. I think Iām just going to spectate.
